Re: Anyone into mid 80's turbo dodges?
I've never done one, but I am pretty knowledgable and handy with a wrench (I installed my own turbo kit and clutch). I'm assuming there's a walk-through somewhere I could follow pretty easily.

Re: Anyone into mid 80's turbo dodges?
If anyone is looking for a turbo dodge, let me know. I have a few connections. Try www.turbododge.com. It's a board I started four years ago, but was sold a year ago. Last time I took the head off the car it took me 35mins. but it's been apart many times before. Anyone needing work let me know. I have been doing it since 1989.
As someone mentioned about the glhs omni. There were 500 of them made, all were black and had a numbered dash plaque. My glhs charger is a little heavier and they only made 1000 of them but I think they look better, but not quite the sleeper of the omni.
Headgaskets are not a problem as some will say. Usually a premature gasket failure is due to a poor installation or tune. Just my .02 worth.

and oddly enough, the NA engines were worse about blowing the HG on 1&4 then the turbo engines!
of course....add the water outlet to the end of the head like the dickshits that listeded to Iacoaca should have, and that issue is resolved.....

Joey, some have done that mod, and others just added a fitting to the freeze plug and route a hose to the pump to help with the cooling. Either way it does help.
